Gold-sheen obsidian sphere - scryer's stone

• diameter approx. 60mm (individuals slight size variation)

Obsidian is lava glass formed by nature, which is created when molten lava solidifies so quickly that the formed rock does not have time to crystallize properly, but remains amorphous, i.e. uncrystallized. Obsidian is typically black or dark gray in color, but other colors also occur. Gold-sheen obsidian gets its special glow from the microbubbles formed when the lava solidifies, which reflect light and create a golden glow on the surface. This makes it not only aesthetically unique, but also especially valued in spiritual and healing practices.

Obsidian has been used for centuries as tools, ornaments and even surgical instruments due to its sharp and durable properties. Many cultures have considered obsidian a carrier of powerful energies and used it for ceremonial purposes or as ornaments.

Symbol meaning

Gold-sheen obsidian is considered particularly powerful for divination. It is thought to take its users into the future, the past and deep into the core of problems. Like all obsidians, gold-sheen obsidian acts as a mirror to the inner being and shows what is needed for healing.

Psychologically, gold-sheen obsidian is thought to remove feelings of frustration and ego conflicts. By releasing the grip of the ego, it provides information about spiritual direction. When used in healing, gold-sheen obsidian balances energy fields.
